"Both Sides Now" Sangtekst

(Joni Mitchell)

Bows and flows of angel hair and ice cream castles in the air
And feathered canyons everywhere I'd look at clouds that way
But now they only block the sun they rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done the clouds got in my way.

I'd look at clouds from both sides now
From up and down and still somehow
It's cloud delusion I recall
I really don't know cloud at all.

--- Instrumental ---

Moons and Junes and fairy squeels the dizzi dancing way you feel
Is every fairytale complete I'd look at love that way
But now it's just another show we've been laughin' when you go
And if you care don't let them know don't give yourself away.

I'd look at love from both sides now
From up and down and still somehow
It's cloud delusion I recall
I really don't know cloud at all.

Tears and fears and feeling proud say I love you right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds I'd look at love that way
But now old friends are acting strange they shake their heads they say I'd change
But something's lost and something's gained in living every day.

I'd look at love from both sides now
From up and down and still somehow
It's cloud delusion I recall
I really don't know cloud at all...
